"The TPP touches on a broad range of issues — the environment, workers and jobs, access to medicines, and more. For example, every indication is that the TPP would allow foreign corporations to sue governments directly -- for unlimited cash compensation in foreign tribunals — over almost any domestic environmental or other law that the corporation be lieves is hurting its ability to profit. And, by offering special benefits to firms that relocate investment and jobs to other countries , the TPP could incentivize offshoring of good-paying jobs to low-wage nations and undercut working conditions globally." sierraclub.org/trade/downloads/TPP-Factsheet.pdf
